America
by Emily Anderson
The crashing seas
The swaying trees
The bright blue sky
Even little biting flies

We find them all
In the land we love
We find them all
In America

The thriving land
A helping hand
Songs of pride
And even some apple pie

We find them all
In the land we love
We find them all
In America

Cold winter day
Little mice asleep in some hay
A hot summer’s sun
Kids outside having fun

We find them all
In the land we love
We find them all
In America

The different faces
All the different races
We find them all
In the land we love
We find them all in
AMERICA
